Chronicles of California vol.4

"WICKED"
LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA
SEPTEMBER 18, 2008

This day happened to be our 13th anniversary! We celebrated at the Cheesecake Factory and then we went and saw Wicked. Let me just say, it was Wicked awesome! I absolutely LOVED it! We had such a great day!
Another day we were able to go see Shawn's brother Scott and his family at their home in San Diego. This is a picture of Jens by their pool that I liked a lot...
and one with her daddy...

Enough already! (I know) This is the end of my postings about our trip. We just had so much fun and it was a long time coming!
the end.

there's no place like home...

and we are HOME!
Considering we saw WICKED! and how I LOVE the WIZARD OF OZ I thought this title fit perfectly!
We had the time of our lives
but we are happy to be home!

I feel overwhelmed with unpacking and back to reality tomorrow, so this will be short and sweet!
A big thank you to all those who lent us some of their precious belongings-
THANK YOU!
A big thanks to my parents for giving us a week with their Marriott!

We took so many fun pictures I haven't even been able to go through them, yet!
I'm going to figure out how to do a slide show of the pictures...

Hi from Escondido!

We made it!!!!!!!

The drive down was so great. The kids were angels!
I don't want to jinx the ride home, but they were really awesome!

So my sweet mom lent me her laptop (thanks mom!) and my plan was to post daily of our trip,
but there is flaw in plan: no wi-fi at our place unless you pay extra, so...
we are visiting Shawn's brother today, hence my post.

I guess all my pictures will have to wait until we get home :(

What we have planned (in a nutshell):
Disneyland Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday
American Girl Store, the Grove and Wicked on Thursday
Beach Day Friday
Head home Saturday.

Exciting since it is our kids first time at Disneyland!

Well I gotta go, just wanted to say HI! I'll post again if I can!
